Solenoid, inlet solenoid needs to be replaced.

Take off spray head and the nut under it. Lift the fill water lid. Remove screws. Lift the top off. Remove the nut where the water runs into the tank. Now lift the tray out. Now you can disconnect one end of the heating element and test it. It is probably good. There are 2 thermal fuses connected (under the white sleeves) that usually open. They carry them at Radio Shack and other electronics stores. There is a temperature marked on the side in Celsius. They should read like a normal fuse (continuity if good). I have replaced several of these and have not had a bad element yet. Good luck

yes,but you should get the part to fix it

There is probably a blown fuse internal to the machine. Normally this is not user replaceable.

First you have to make clear what is causing the leak. A gasket? A burst in a pipe? Burst in the heater? When you know what, you can see (a tech can) if it is repairable and what it will cost.

Go to UTube - there are some good videos out there on how to fix this. You have to take the top off and clean the flapper.

if the coffee is ground too fine, it'll take longer to brew through. either grind more coarse or call bunn for a flow restrictor (800) 352-BUNN (2866)

Remove the top panel and locate the level probe in the top of the boiler. Remove the probe and clean off any lime scale. This should stop the overfilling.

What do you want to adjust? Pour time/volume, temperature???

Make sure it's getting power, and that the "vacation" switch isn't on. If on a GFCI outlet, press the RESET button - Do Not press the "test" button. If GFCI is located upstream on the breaker or another outlet (not uncommon), try resetting the breaker or that other outlet. If still no joy, check that the outlet is hot by plugging something else into it. If that item doesn't work either check the circuit breaker for that outlet by moving the lever all the way to the Off position, then back to the On position. You should hear a click like a light switch.

Cold is better because it will cause the heating element to activate which will increase the effectiveness of the brew rite.

Fill your carafe about an 1/8" over the target cup line. Remember some water in the tank is lost to evaporation, and some water remains in the used coffee grounds. Adding a little extra water makes up for that.

Please provide model number.

The leak is most likely between the water reservoir and the tank. Bunn uses a soft silicone seal for that connection that gets compressed over time and starts to leak water whenever you make a pot of coffee. It's planned obsolescence. Bunn won't sell you a new seal. So you have to improvise. But it's simple enough to do. Remove the top cover and the plastic water reservoir right below it. Don't tamper with the little valve that opens when you close the lid. Look for the seal. It could be stuck to the bottom of the reservoir, or sitting loosely on top of the metal tank. Make sure to preserve its top-to-bottom orientation (don't put it back in upside down). Apply a narrow bead of clear silicone into the grooved side of the seal. Press the seal gently onto the reservoir, then apply a thin layer to the smooth side. Re-install the reservoir and reassemble the unit.
